  Steven SosaAug 13, 2025
  If your Yamaha Receiver fails to turn on or enters standby mode soon after powering on, there might be several reasons. First, ensure the power cable is firmly connected. Second, verify that the impedance of your connected speakers matches the unit's specifications and connect appropriate speakers. Third, the protection circuitry might have been activated, so check all speaker wire connections to ensure they are secure and not touching anything else. Finally, if the unit was exposed to a strong electric shock, set it to standby, disconnect the power cable for 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.

Why is there no sound coming from my Yamaha HTR-5935?

  Alexander JohnsonAug 17, 2025
  If you're getting no sound from your Yamaha Receiver, start by checking all input and output cable connections to ensure they are properly connected; the cables may be defective. Next, make sure you've selected the correct input source using the INPUT selector on the front panel or the remote control, and check MULTI CH INPUT on the front panel (or MULTI CH IN on the remote control). Also, verify that the correct set of front speakers is selected using SPEAKERS A/B on the front panel or SPEAKERS on the remote control. Ensure the volume isn't turned down and that the receiver isn't muted by pressing MUTE or VOLUME +/- on the remote. Lastly, if playing a DTS-encoded source, confirm that “INPUT MODE” is set to “AUTO” or “DTS,” not “ANALOG”.

  If the sound from your Yamaha Receiver suddenly goes off, it could be due to a few reasons. The protection circuitry might have been activated because of a short circuit, so check that the speaker impedance setting is correct. Alternatively, the sleep timer might have turned off the unit, in which case you should turn it back on and restart the source. Also, the sound may be muted, so press MUTE or VOLUME +/- on the remote to resume audio output.

  If you only hear sound from one speaker when using your Yamaha Receiver, and it's in “STRAIGHT” mode while playing a monaural source, press STRAIGHT (EFFECT) on the front panel so that “STRAIGHT” disappears from the front panel display.

Why is no sound heard from the center speaker on my Yamaha Receiver?

  If you're not hearing any sound from the center speaker on your Yamaha Receiver, first, adjust the “SPEAKER LEVEL” settings. If that doesn't work, check that “CENTER” in “SET MENU” is set to “SML” or “LRG,” not “NONE”. Also, when playing a monaural source with a CINEMA DSP program, try another sound field program.

What does “CHECK SP WIRES” mean on my Yamaha HTR-5935 Receiver?

  If “CHECK SP WIRES” appears on the front panel display of your Yamaha Receiver, it indicates that the speaker cables are short-circuited. To resolve this, ensure that all speaker cables are connected correctly.

  If the picture from your Yamaha Receiver is disturbed, it might be because the video source uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent dubbing. Try playing a source whose signals can be reproduced by the unit.

  If Dolby Digital or DTS sources cannot be played on your Yamaha Receiver, first, ensure that the connected component is set to output Dolby Digital or DTS digital signals by following its operating instructions. Also, verify that “INPUT MODE” is set to “AUTO” or “DTS,” not “ANALOG”.
